Binary System Podcast

Happy Holidays from the Binary System Podcast team! Our present to everyone this year is an extra-long episode, because there is just so much content. The final season of Beastars dropped while we were looking the other way, so we have to talk about the first episode and how this season seems to be tackling...

“…the chrysalis is showing signs that it may soon open…” It’s Night Vale, so that could either mean Steve Carlsberg leaving his old life for a new one, or it could be the VERY LITERAL chrysalis with a monster inside. Obviously, it’s both, but between the thing in the cocoon and Steve’s employers, maybe we...

The first arc of Arcane Season 2 wraps up with a glorious one-on-one battle between Vi and Jinx (well, one-one-one, if you don’t count Caitlyn and Sevika fighting it out in the wings, and the Orphan Moppet who’s latched on to Jinx just generally getting in the way.) Many things are happening simultaneously in this...

Night Vale’s holding its first-ever Swap Meet this week, and the Sanitation Department wants to make sure you follow all the rules: there’s no money of any kind allowed, tangible and intangible swaps are encouraged, and Faustian Deals that cost you your immortal soul? Those are perfectly acceptable, go talk to the demons in the...

This week the Binary System Podcast team watched the first episode of Arcane: League of Legends season 2. That’s it, that’s all you need to know; we watched it and it’s amazing. Okay, yes, we also talked a little bit about what we’re also watching (Dario Argento and the original run of Frasier) and what...

On this week’s Night Vale recap we’re taking about the brand new innovation the venture capitalists have come up with: a ride share where a bunch of people take the same big car, and it goes around to different places and some people get on and some get off (…the bus, they’ve reinvented the bus....

Happy Halloween! We’re officially in the middle of spooky movie season, so this week we’re talking about a classic horror film. It’s the Exorcist…Three! Not a perfect film by any means; you can see the heavy hand of the producers who insisted on changing the name from William Blatty’s Legion in order to capitalize on...

The head of Night Vale’s new Unnamed Religion Seriously Nobody Ever Says What It Is They All Avoid Telling You The Name That’s Not Suspicious At All is in Cecil’s broadcast studio, discussing sheep, rudeness, and all the things you’ve lost in your life, tangible or intangible. It’s a lovely selection of Weird Things (that’s...

We didn’t actually plan to do a second sit-rep episode so soon. Unfortunately another gigantic event hit the US in the last week, causing a lot of uproar and basically making everyone’s lives harder. That’s right, Netflix cancelled KAOS after only one season. It’s an unacceptable state of affairs and we demand to speak with...

The air’s getting cooler and the nights are getting longer, so Night Vale is celebrating with a corn maze and all the fun things that go along with it: caramel apples, pumpkins, laughing, screaming, zombies, acid-filled sharks, and existential dread. Ooo and cider! As soon as we escaped the rusty chainsaws and applied corn-silk tourniquets...
